Aston Villa winger Ashley Young admits he was Arsenal mad as a kid - but not anymore.

He told the Independent on Sunday: "No, you drop that as soon as you turn pro. They're just another team. Although the away grounds I enjoy playing at most are the Emirates and Old Trafford."

It is the latter where he normally faces the bigger challenge.

"Wes Brown is the defender who gives me most trouble," he concedes. "I played against him twice in the league and the Carling Cup as well last season, and I didn't get no change out of him. His reading of the game is excellent and he likes to get forward as well, so I have to track back unless I can pass him over to the left back, and as a winger you don't want to be going that way."
